Chiptune and 8-bit bands are nothing new. The sonic textures of early Nintendo and Sega Genesis games have inspired countless millennial musicians to approach the genre in numerous ways, cobbling together songs with crunchy lo-fi tones or reimagining classic video game soundtracks.

The first sights and sounds of a Legend of Zelda game are unforgettable. Horses gallop, wind blows and piano and strings strike a chord—figuratively and literally. The music of the Zelda franchise undoubtedly represents some of the best video game music ever. This four-movement symphony draws pieces directly from the video game series and uses scenes from three decades’ worth of gameplay. They reimagine the original composer Koji Kondo’s adventurous and melodic scores from Twilight Princess, Majora’s Mask, Ocarina of Time and more. The concert features the Tuscany Symphony Orchestra, a 20-person choir.
